Star Pirates Ascension 2: One Month On

It’s the one month launch anniversary of Ascension 2. A2 is the much loved, but demanding, expansion of StarPirates.net, Snakehead Games’ flagship text-based browser RPG.

Ascension 2 allows advanced players to reboot their character in a standalone mission. While in the mission they aren’t able to use some of the social features of the game, so it’s much more of a “hell mode” than the normal game. Once completed though, all the experience and loot make their way back to the main character.

Speaking of loot, Ascension 2 introduces Neural Interfaces. NIs (as Free Captains quickly called them), are a new type of item, with their own slot. Named after constellations they can only be found in Ascension 2.

As long-time players of Star Pirates will attest, Ascension mission combine the best of traditions of book-based “select a path” missions with SP game play. The Expansion is demanding, but players love it for that:
